The Community Foundation is excited to launch free opportunities for connection, collaboration, and community building through Colleague Connect.
Colleague Connect is a series of conversation and networking groups set in a fun, informal, and confidential setting. The content of the meeting can include round table discussions, idea sharing, or a speaker. Group members and staff commit to creating a confidential space for peer groups to share resources, discuss insights, and troubleshoot challenges. There is no cost to participate.
The first Colleague Connect groups to launch will be for Executive Directors and Managers. The Community Foundation looks to add additional groups in the future.
